A woman found slain in a home in Oakley was identified Thursday as 21-year-old Elizabeth Reyes.

Francisco Javier Ayala-Lares, 21, of Oakley was arrested on suspicion of murder after he called police about 4:25 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Contra Costa County sheriff's office, which patrols Oakley.

Reyes' body was found a short time later in the home on the 100 block of Pheasant Way. The cause of death has not been released.

Ayala-Lares and Reyes knew each other, but the nature of the relationship is unclear, sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee said.
